With so many anti aging skin care products on the market, it can sometimes be hard to choose what will work best for you. Who doesn’t want to look younger?
Anti aging skin care products contain ingredients that help the skin appear more youthful. They include ingredients like antioxidants, and peptides. Sometimes you'll see Vitamin C listed in the ingredients. What exactly does Vitamin C do in anti aging skin care products? These products work by enabling the synthesis of collagen (a structural protein that is found in skin). This category of anti aging skin care products is related to anti-oxidants. Anti aging skin care products that are based on vitamin C are, however, posed with the danger of getting oxidized themselves (as they come into contact with air during their usage). So some anti aging skin care products are based on the derivatives of vitamin C, which are more stable and less expensive.
You may also see Vitamin E listed on an ingredient label. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble anti-oxidant. Here's the thing, you want to see Vitmain E high up on that label. If it's near the bottom, it's being used a a preservative!
Have you seen Vitamin B on the label? Some B-vitamins like B5, B6 and B12 are also in use for anti aging skin care products.
The field of anti aging skin care products is vast and needs a lot of research. Though the currently available products are effective, they still have challenges to combat. Hopefully, these challenges will get resolved in due course and help get better and cheaper anti aging skin care products.
We highly recommend the professional brand of Dermalogica. It's a brand I know and trust, and use on my own skin. It's backed by science and a passion for great skin care products.
The other thing to ask yourself- have you updated your skin care regime lately? If you're still using the same products you used 15 years ago- ask yourself if your skin care needs are still the same? Is your skin still the same, and still reacting the same way?
